An 18-year-old primipara developed acute hypertension leading to cerebral edema and convulsions following the IV injection of a bolus of 10 units of oxytocin with 0.2 mg methylergonovine maleate. Oxytocin in a dose of more than 2 units should not be administered IV in a single injection, as severe
BACKGROUND
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by clinical and radiological features, including headache, disturbed consciousness, seizures, and cortical blindness associated with findings indicating posterior leukoencephalopathy on imaging studies. Ours is the first
BACKGROUND
Sheehan's syndrome occurs because of severe postpartum hemorrhage causing ischemic pituitary necrosis. Sheehan's syndrome is a well-known condition that is generally diagnosed several years postpartum. However, acute Sheehan's syndrome is rare, and clinicians have little exposure to it.
OBJECTIVE
To compare severe short-term maternal and neonatal morbidity associated with midpelvic and low pelvic attempted operative vaginal delivery.
METHODS
Prospective study of 2,138 women with live singleton term fetuses in vertex presentation who underwent an attempted operative vaginal delivery
OBJECTIVE
To determine the risk of neonatal and maternal disease associated with the sequential use of vacuum and forceps compared with spontaneous vaginal delivery.
METHODS
Using Washington state birth certificate data linked to hospital discharge records, we compared 3741 vaginal deliveries by
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to quantify perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality associated with forceps and vacuum delivery compared with Caesarean delivery in the second stage of labour and to estimate whether these associations differed by pelvic station.
METHODS
The investigators conducted
There is potential for important steps to be missed in emergency situations, even in the presence of many health care team members. Developing a clear plan of response for common emergencies can ensure that no tasks are redundant or omitted, and can create a more controlled environment that promotes
OBJECTIVE
To describe 2 cases of Sheehan syndrome presenting with ventricular tachycardia.
METHODS
In this case series, we present 2 cases of Sheehan syndrome presenting with ventricular tachycardia, which is an extremely rare complication of Sheehan syndrome. We review the literature for cases of
Conventional replacement therapy for hypofibrinogenemia and von Willebrand's disease requires multiple donor exposures and a correspondingly high risk of blood-borne infection. We describe the collection and successful use of cryoprecipitate derived from a single donor by plasma exchange donation to
Outcome measures of obstetrical and perinatal care may concern the mother or the newborn and may involve mortality or morbidity. We reviewed the literature and found six outcome measures influenced by the process of care and its quality:maternal and perinatal mortalities, postpartum hemorrhage,
BACKGROUND
Increased use of operative vaginal delivery (i.e., forceps or vacuum application), of which 20% occurs at midpelvic station, has been advocated to reduce the rate of cesarean delivery. We aimed to quantify severe perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality associated with attempted
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a prolonged second stage of labor on maternal and neonatal outcomes by comparing women who had expectant management versus operative intervention beyond specified timeframes in the second stage of labor. Background: Previous cesarean delivery is the major risk factor for uterine rupture in subsequent trial of labor. It has been suggested that a previous preterm cesarean delivery is associated with an increased risk of uterine rupture
Medical professionals and public are concerned about the complications of pregnancy and delivery in women with epilepsy (WWE).
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to prospectively ascertain occurrence of these complications in a cohort of WWE enrolled in a pregnancy registry.
METHODS
All complications during
OBJECTIVE
To compare neonatal and maternal outcomes of attempted operative vaginal delivery with emergency repeat cesarean in trial of labor after cesarean.
METHODS
Prospective 8-year cohort analysis using the Netherlands Perinatal Registry, including women with one prior cesarean giving birth
